Dr. Evroula Hapeshi has been a Researcher at the UNRF and Adjunct Lecturer at Life and Health Department at Pharmacy Program at the University of Nicosia since 2014. She was an associate researcher at NIREAS-International Water Research Center since January 2011 and a post-doctoral fellow at GAIA-Laboratory of Environmental Engineering of the University of Cyprus since January 2008. She received a BSc in Chemistry with direction of Physical analytical Chemistry and Environmental Chemistry from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and a PhD in Chemistry, from the Department of Chemistry of the University of Cyprus.

Her current research interests focus on the development/application of advanced analytical methods based on UPLC tandem MS/MS and UPLC hybrid MS (QqTOF) capable for the multi-residue target analysis of οrganic compounds and especially licit and illicit drugs and their metabolites in different difficult matrices including urine and blood serum. In addition to that, the most recent research lines are focused on the application hyphenated chromatography/mass spectrometry using LC‐MS/MS with a variety of mass analyzers, as triple quadruple, ion trap, TOF and hybrid QTOF for the identification of unknown degradation products and metabolites of selected drugs including elucidation of degradation pathways. Special attention has been directed in the last years on the determination of licit and illicit drugs and their metabolites in wastewater used them as biomarkers as a new source of epidemiological information. Moreover, her research is directed on the development /application of new technologies into Pharmacovigilance and Eco-pharmacovigilance of drugs. According to the study of Eco-pharmacovigilance, her research focus not only to identify and quantify some of the drugs in the environment but and some management practice options for the Eco-pharmacovigilance like improving knowledge and perceptions of pharmacy/health care practitioners about the Eco-pharmacovigilance of the licit and illicit drugs, finding pollution sources of the drugs, including the prevention of the unnecessary consumption and use of them and the dissemination of the safe disposal of drugs among the general public, as a result of the control of the manufacturing-related releases. As associated and senior researcher and post-doc fellow at the University of Cyprus has actively participated in several scientific projects that were funded by the Cyprus Research Promotion Foundation or co-funded by the Republic of Cyprus and the European Regional Development Fund. She has authored or co-authored at 48 refereed journal papers, 46 papers in refereed conference proceedings and 8 book chapters and she is a reviewer in several international journals. Moreover, she has participated in several scientific projects and networks and she was member of the management committee at a COST Action, named Sewage biomarker analysis for community health assessment (SCORE), COST Action ES1307.
